Partnership
"If I had received a training like Abuse is not Love when I was in school, I would have not fallen into the abusive relationship that I married into and made me suffer for 11 years. I would also have been able to go to university but I chose love, although I was too young to understand that it was not love but abuse. Abuse is not Love is key to change the lives of many young women and men to live a better future and form healthy relationships."
Co-creating a society free from violence against women
Ana Bella Foundation transforms survivors' suffering into expertise and empathy to detect thousands of invisible victims to speak up, break free from violence and release their full potential to become leaders of their own lives. By sharing positive testimonies of survivors as well as working with the media, governments, companies and educational centres, we are transforming how society views women and young girls who have experienced abuse

Abuse is not love among the youth
We provide Abuse is not Love training to young adults to identify the 9 key signs of abuse in an intimate partner relationship, so that they build healthy relationships and learn how to act as changemakers by detecting and accompanying friends who might be involved in abusive relationships.

We have also made several media appearences on TV, radio and newspapers including interviews and whole programmes dedicated to the survivors sharing their testimonies on the 9 key signs of abuse.
Accompanying the youth to break free from abusive intimate partner relationship
Ana Bella Foundation accompanies teenagers and women who break the silence and ask for help. After the training they are able to identify that they are in an abusive intimate partner relationship. We create a strategy together to leave their abusive partner and access adequate support depending to the needs and circumstances of each person through a process of empowerment so that they break the pattern of abuse and build heathy relationship.
